Summary
A family tragedy. A buried secret. What lies hidden in the flames?
A dense, bitterly cold fog has settled over the Wye Valley when Bristol coroner Jenny Cooper is called to the scene of a dreadful tragedy: in the village of Blackstone Ley, a house has burned to the ground, with three members of a family inside.
Though evidence of foul play is quickly uncovered, it isn't long before the police investigation is drawn to a close. It seems certain that the fire was started by one of the victims, Ed Morgan, in a fit of jealous rage. But their infant son is still missing, and Ed had left a message for his surviving wife, Kelly Hart, telling her that she would never find the child....
As Jenny prepares the inquest, she finds herself troubled by the official version of events. What could have provoked Ed's murderous rampage? How might the guarded other inhabitants of the village have been involved? And what could the connection be with the mysterious abduction of a little girl 10 years ago?
Battling to suppress gruelling events in her own life, Jenny soon becomes entangled in another perplexing inquiry that may have surprising links to this one. Can she unearth Blackstone Ley's secrets before it's too late?

Complicated
I’ve enjoyed the first two in this series, and bought this one on a 2:1 deal. The book is reasonably interesting, but the plot and subplots so complex, that even the characters have to summarise. There were also too many characters, and medical inaccuracies. I’ll need to read the books I’ve missed.
The narration was excellent.

Loving the Coroner Series
I am really enjoying the series, and I am fascinated with this new world of a Coroner. Its beautifully written and also has a very human depth to it all.
One small critique, the Narrator has a beautiful speaking voice, but in my opinion does not try hard enough to work on different accents, so when other characters 'speak' they all sound the same.
Other than this, the books are great reading.

One of my favourites of the series so far.
I have just binged on this entire series. The Coroner proved to be little addictive xx

Another brilliant Jenny Cooper tale
I have listened to all the books in this series one after the other and haves loved them all, this being no exception.
Jenny is a great character and the narrator is the best I have heard on any audible books. There is only one more in the series and I dread coming to the end of it...
